Vacuum drying
After completing the piping connection, execute vacuum drying for the connecting piping and the indoor unit.
The vacuum drying must be carried out by using the service ports of both the liquid and gas side valves.
CAUTION
Use two wrenches and tighten with regular torque.

11.9.5 INDOOR UNIT DRAIN PIPING
•
The unit has two drainage holes at both side.
The drainage hole without connection needs seal and
thermal insulation with accessories.
•
Always lay the drain with downward inclination (1/50 to
1/100).
Prevent any upward flow or reverse flow in any part.
•
5mm or thicker formed thermal insulator shall always be
provided for the drain pipe.
11.9.6 HEAT INSULATION
Caution
Be sure to perform heat insulation on the drain, liquid and gas piping. Imperfection in heat insulation work leads to water
leakage.
1. Use the heat insulation material for the refrigerant piping which has an excellent heat-resistance (over 120°C).
Overlap with heat
insulator for piping.

To be glued
It may be required to take off this part for checking
or servicing the drain up motor. Please do not glue.
Make sure that there is no clearance here.
2. Precautions in high humidity circumstance.
This air conditioner has been tested according to the “JIS Standard Conditions with Mist” and have been
confirmed that there are no faults. However, if it is operated for a long time in high humid atmosphere (dew point
temperature: more than 23°C), water drops are liable to fall. In this case, add heat insulation material according
to the following procedure:
•
Heat insulation material to be prepared…
Adiabatic glass wool with thickness 10 to 20
mm.
•
Stick glass wool on all air conditioners that are
located in ceiling atmosphere.
•
In addition to the normal heat insulation
(thickness: more than 8 mm) for refrigerant
piping (gas piping: thick piping) and drain
piping, add a further of 10 mm to 30 mm
thickness material.
